Association of unsweetened and sweetened tea consumption with risk of incident cardiovascular disease: Evidence from the UK Biobank
Consuming unsweetened tea is associated with a reduced risk of incident CVD, CAD, stroke, and HF. In contrast, no significant associations were observed for sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened tea. These findings indicate that unsweetened tea may contribute positively to the prevention of CVD, independent of genetic risk factors. Further research is needed to validate these results and explore the underlying mechanisms.
